Nathalie's Game

She made an undignified start.

Smoldering on the other side of the board
Harvey sat hungry for the kiss

With amusement lingering in his eyes
He approached her with all frankness.

Waiting for Brantain's next move, Nathalie grew insolent
The ray of hope from Brantain was eclipsed by Harvey's next move.

Nathalie wanted an entourage and wealth,
and her lover let her choose her misery, misery
in marriage

Awkward movements end in delicious triumph.
They were all hungry for the kiss.
